Fourth Estate is George Mason University's official student-run news outlet.
The organization was formed in Fall 2013 in collaboration between the student newspaper, Broadside, and an student-run news website, Connect2Mason.
Our mission is to inform Mason students, faculty and alumni about what's happening in the community. Through a weekly publication and an online presence, Fourth Estate covers everything from the Board of Visitors to the next concert coming to the Patriot Center.
